✨ WHY ALAUNCHER?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📵 MINIMAL HOME SCREEN
Typography-first interface with a clean clock, up to 10 favorite apps, and zero visual clutter. No distracting wallpapers screaming for attention — just you and what matters.

🔔 SMART NOTIFICATION FILTER & SEARCH
Filter alerts into Priority, Normal, and Muted. Distracting promo alerts stay out of your status bar and are organized into your custom Notification Center for mindful review. Instant in-memory search lets you find notifications in milliseconds. Never miss an important OTP, calendar meeting, or ride update.

🧘 FOCUS MODE & QUIET HOURS
One-tap Deep Work mode silences distractions except what you allow. Schedule automated Quiet Hours for better sleep. Urgent meetings and OTPs safely bypass filters.

🏝️ DYNAMIC CONTEXTUAL ISLAND
Glanceable real-time alerts on your home screen. Track deliveries, rides, calendar reminders, OTPs, active timers, hotspot status, Bluetooth battery, and bank alerts with per-category privacy toggles.

🔍 INSTANT SEARCH, MATH & CONVERSIONS
Trie-based search with zero typing lag. Launch apps, evaluate arithmetic (e.g., "45 * 12", "15% of 850"), convert units offline (e.g., "10 km in miles", "70 kg in lbs"), or access app shortcuts.

👉 FLUID GESTURE NAVIGATION
Swipe up to search apps. Swipe down for notification center. Double-tap empty space to lock screen. Swipe right on any app for shortcuts. Everything is a natural thumb motion away.

🧰 PRODUCTIVITY DOCK
Universal clipboard history, instant notes, and quick assistant access — always thumb-reachable.

📊 DIGITAL WELLBEING & DETOX
Set daily app limits, receive gentle take-a-break reminders, and break doomscrolling habits with built-in digital minimalism tools.

🔒 ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE USAGE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ALauncher includes an optional "Double-Tap to Lock" feature to turn off and lock your screen by double-tapping empty space on the home screen.

To provide this, ALauncher uses Android's AccessibilityService API:
• Purpose: Solely used to trigger the screen lock action (GLOBAL_ACTION_LOCK_SCREEN).
• Preserves Biometrics: Acts just like pressing the physical power button, ensuring Fingerprint and Face Unlock continue to work normally.
• Privacy Guarantee: ALauncher does NOT collect, read, store, or transmit any personal data, keystrokes, screen content, or sensitive information.
• User Controlled: Entirely optional, disabled by default, and can be revoked at any time in Android Accessibility Settings.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔐 100% PRIVATE & OFFLINE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Free forever — no subscriptions, paywalls, or ads
• 100% offline — INTERNET permission is not requested in the manifest
• Zero telemetry, zero analytics, zero data collection
• All notifications, usage, and clipboard data stay strictly on-device
• Lightweight, battery-friendly, and private by design

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌐 100% FREE & OPEN SOURCE
